Book 2, Chapter 8: Voting
UHM. Bad mod is bad. *reports for duty* >_>
We received 7 out of a possible 10 entries. Foofoocuddlypoops and Sokka didn't submit, meaning that they lost two points; Momo didn't submit and was eliminated from the point loss.
Here are the voting rules! This week's themes was text only, although use of textures and symbols was allowed. This week, make sure you vote on the aesthetic and technical quality of the icon, and not just based on the text itself.
You are not voting through a poll, but through a comment left to this entry. You are voting for three icons that you feel are the best and two icons of lesser quality. Label the ones that are your favorites with a plus sign (+) and the ones that are your least favorites with a minus sign (-). You may also make general comments on icons if you want; label those with a G. General comments are entirely optional.
Please include some kind of critique in your comment. LIMS are for iconbenders who want to improve ;) Therefore, it's very helpful to point out to them what you like and don't like about their icon so that they can improve in the future.
Your vote is screened, and you will remain anonymous. Your comments will appear on the results page because I'll be c&p-ing things and assembling them there, but your username will never be revealed.
Sample Vote:
[+] #20: The crop is very effective; I also like the text. Very tasteful use of light textures.
[+] #25: Very nice color scheme; everything works together to bring out the subject well.
[+] #42: Fantastic use of base textures and also of tiny text.
[-] #30: The icon is too dark. It's impossible to see the subject.
[-] #35: The crop isn't very good. In addition to that, the font you picked doesn't match the subject matter at all.
[G] #40: I really like your use of scan lines!
Of course, you can go into much more detail than that. :)
Mods reserve the right to null any vote that votes for an icon for petty reasons and not the actual quality for the icons themselves. Examples of petty reasons would be because your favorite/least favorite character is in the icon, because you hate tiny text and there's tiny text on there, because of personal preference or bias, etc. You should be voting on the overall craftsmanship of the icon itself. If a mod contacts you to change your vote in some way and you don't change it, your vote will turn into a general comment that doesn't affect the icon's point total.
Don't vote for yourself or get others to vote for you. Depending on the extent of your offense, you may be DQed from this week and banned.

Good luck!
